The victim was pronounced dead at the scene about 6:15 a.m.

A preliminary investigation revealed that a dark-colored sedan had struck the man as he was crossing the street, Morales said. The driver of that vehicle had not been located Wednesday afternoon.

It did not appear that the victim had been in a crosswalk, and the sedan left the scene heading west on Alum Rock Avenue, he said.

A second vehicle also struck the victim, Morales said. The driver of that vehicle stopped and was cooperating with police.
